Hey guys, first post here. I randomly stumbled across an illustrated image on pinterest of a guy saddle hunting, had no idea what was going, clicked on it on a whim and a week later here I am, intrigued.
I'm a hardcore DIYer, like to a fault. I've been lurking around here a little bit trying to put together an idea of how I'm going to make all this stuff myself. I've seen some excellent info I hadn't really thought about, like links to sewing vidoes and what not. Also have seen, and will heed, the safety warnings about DIY. Ropes and climbing aren't exactly new to me, I'm an electrician and have done my fair share of climbing. Kind of into safety at work, kind of into it with hunting as well, not looking to fall. So I'm all ears with any safety recommendations.
Anyways looking forward to getting to know some folks and hopefully share my diy setup by next fall.
On a side note and hopefully I dont get yelled at on my first post for not posting in the correct part of this site... There has been this three legged doe running around my place for the last few years. Shes missing a back leg below the joint. I saw her today in my tree stand, couldn't get a shot off, and I'm kind of glad I didn't have the opportunity, because now I'm not sure what the right move was... she's been three legged for at least two years now and she seems to be doing fine. I don't know what made her lose her leg, but i saw her with it hanging on by a thread and found the leg after it fell off in my yard. I guess my question is, what would you do in that situation and why? It just happened an hour ago and I'm not sure what I should have done had I had a shot at her.
( I'm in 2b for you PA types that wonder what I was doing in a tree stand in the first place)
